Hi fishies, I am trying to move from sales (Business Development) to Business Strategy Consulting. Any tips on how I can change my CV to fit consultancy more? I would appreciate it if someone has made this move before to share his/her experience of switching careers :)

That's a pretty big shift in careers. Strategy consulting in particular is quite tricky to get into with no experience, and you'd likely have to start from the bottom. I have about 4 years of technology consulting experience and I tried to apply to accentures strategy consulting practice and got flat out rejected. I fear your CV is the least of your worries I'm afraid. You'd be better off upskilling yourself first.

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet. I am wondering if it is because industry folks are not familiar with my firm. I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

Hi! So i've been doing "all the things i was supposed too" since i graduated. I have two masters dgs, my admin cert, 15 years teaching, and all that good stuff.

A part of me wants to just quit and do that full-time am I wasting all that education? Thoughts? do it?
